About ZIFT

This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.

What is ZIFT?
Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) is a fertility procedure to treat male and female infertility. ZIFT combines IVF with GIFT. The procedure involves fertilizing the woman’s eggs in a laboratory and transferring them to the fallopian tubes.

How is ZIFT carried out?
The ZIFT procedure has similarities with GIFT.

The woman takes fertility drugs to stimulate the ovaries in order to produce multiple eggs.

When the eggs are mature, the doctor uses ultrasound to locate them and removes them with a needle.

The eggs are combined with the partner’s sperm in a laboratory.

When the eggs are fertilized, the doctor inserts between one and four fertilized eggs into the fallopian tubes by laparoscopy.

Who is a suitable candidate for ZIFT?
ZIFT may be suitable for couples where the man has a low sperm count or the woman has ovulatory problems.
ZIFT is not suitable for women with blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, or a damaged uterus.

What are the chances of success with ZIFT?
According to Baby Center, couples have an average 26% chance of having a baby with each cycle of ZIFT.

Duration of procedure/surgery : One cycle of ZIFT typically takes around 4 to 6 weeks to complete. The egg retrieval procedure takes around 30 minutes, as does the egg insertion procedure.

Days admitted : None – you can go home the same day.

Anesthesia : ZIFT egg retrieval and egg insertion may be carried out under general or local anesthesia.

Recovery : Recovery time is minimal for the egg collection procedure in ZIFT. Laparoscopy for egg recovery has a recovery time of around 2 days.
